IMDb posted a trailer for Natural
Selectionand for some
reason I really like it. Truthfully I thought it was a horror film at first,
given the tone of the beginning of the preview, but it ends up being a great
looking little dramedy. Who knew Rachael Harris – the bitchy girlfriend from The Hangover – wouldbe getting high praise for a starring role in an indie film?

Dr. Sleep

This is more literature news than
film, but IMDb
via Icons of Fright shared a recent
clip of Stephen King at the Savannah Book Festival reading from Dr. Sleep, the sequel to his novel The Shining. The video isn’t great as it
was recorded by someone pretty far from the stage where King was reading but
it's cool all the same to know that this sequel exists. According to Wikipedia, Mr. King finished the first draft of the book this
past November. Maybe I'll review the film someday?

Favorite Scene Friday!

If you need a little more Bill
Murray in your life, you're in luck. Our FSF poll closed this morning with
scenes featuring the actor as the winner, so every Friday in March we'll be
bringing you a piece of Mr. Murray. Thanks to all who voted!

@Chris - Yeah I feel like if they ever do make it into a movie it would be a completely different beast. I'm sure King learned his lesson the first time and I doubt Nicholson would be in the film, if he's even featured in the novel. I've heard it's about Danny all grown up working in a hospital or something and mind pirates are the enemies or something (?!).

Who knows though, maybe they could pull a Tron: Legacy and put a computer animated Nicholson in the film! :0
